Question

2x+y=14 plug in 3/5 for x ??

Answer 1

2(3/5)+y=14
6/5+y=14
y=14-6/5
y=12 4/5 or y=64/5.

Answer 2

if i were to get ride of the fraction 3/5 by multiplying everything by 5, how would that look??/

Answer 3

???????

Answer 4

it would look just fine.

Answer 5

except you'll just have to divide everything by 5 again in order to isolate y.
so it would be kind of a pointless intermediate step

Answer 6

when you multiply everything by and you have for example 2(3/5)+y=14, 10(3)+5y=70, would you add or multiply the 3

Answer 7

y=11.7

Answer 8

2x.6=1.2
1.2y=14 so divide both sides by 1.2 to isolate Y and you get Y=11.7
